Summer Nights Program

Held Monday Evenings
June/July/August

Beekeeping Presentation
Turtlebee and Honeytree Farms, Inc.

Monday, June 16 - 6:30-9:00 pm
Adults $10 - Children under 12 $7

Children young and old alike, come learn about the life cycle of the honeybee.
Do you have a fear of bees? Give us a chance to help tear down those walls of fear.
Have you ever considered beekeeping as a hobby?

With large study prints, we will take a visual tour of the inside workings of a honey bee hive.
We will also have an observation hive with bees and their queen to assist us in telling their story.
To become a successful beekeeper one needs to have a fair understanding of the mathematical
 principles built within our modern beehive.

Discover the three most amazing things that can be said about honey and no other food.
We will also have products from the beehive for purchase and opportunity for attendees to
make their own beeswax candle.
